Reader InBox 2012

This was a nice email I received for the start of the New Year about my novel, Miami Manhunt. I love hearing from my book readers because more often than not, my books can be like messages in a bottle bobbing somewhere out there in this great big world. It's not everyday that people take the time to write authors after they read their work and it's nice to know how far away the books are being read and that my messages are being received. So thank you again Louise in New Castle, UK for reading and writing back.

Hi Johnny,My name is Louise and I am from the UK and just read your book. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it and read it all day, yesterday Jan 1st 2012. I loved all 3 characters. I loved Ray and his twin also! I have twins myself, but mixed set ones. I loved it at the end where Ray and Rasco have a heart to heart and Rasco tells him he felt left out when Ray met Ted. Loved Ted also in this book!

I loved the relationship between Rasco and Cindy also. You made them such a cute couple. I really would like to add that I loved that Ray and Ronnie and Ted and Jergin didn't rush into sex the night they 1st met and how they all knew it was the start of something special.
